Maybe but then you run the risk of the Chargers swapping out with Gettleman, since the giants are going OT.

I'll be honest - I'd feel compelled to root for them if they did.

That's balls or bust all the way. You're gonna need a top 10 QB at worst to sneak past Mahomes (and that presumes your roster is better than his). I don't think Love will ever be that guy, but he does have the physical tools to develop at that level.

But the weird thing about this draft, as deep as it is, I don't see a slam dunk pick at 5. Maybe Andrew Thomas? I'm not a Simmons stan (or at least I don't see him as being an obvious top 5 guy). Jeudy and Lamb aren't top 5 guys, are they?

I mean if Young and Okudah are off the board, who's the obvious pick at 5?

To be very real with you guys, I don't think Detroit is taking Okudah, if you value CB that high why trade Slay?

I think Simmons or Darrick Brown are much more realistic picks there.

I agree. I think they're locked in on Derrick Brown.

I don’t think think anybody wants to have to give up extra picks to take a risk on Tua.

All the draft guys are saying no trades at 3/4 is more likely than not.

Blech.

Brown is not Aaron Donald. Is he even Deforest Buckner?

I see more of a Grady Jarrett type - big, powerful man to be sure. A guy that can definitely anchor your interior. But...to what effect? He's not much of a pass-rushing threat.

I mean I guess if you can get Jurrell Casey you're probably gonna be better off than a lot of teams end up, but that seems like you're setting the bar pretty low from the start.

Maybe I'm just not being fair to Brown. I think he's being viewed through a 2010 decision lens by many (maybe 2000). He's more of a run defender in a league that's going heavy on the pass.

Guess if I was Detroit, I would be just wanting one of Miami's 2nds to move up. Which is a cheap price to pay to be able to guarantee drafting the QB that you want. I mean which ever QB they take your already betting 3-4 years of the franchise on. Surely they do not want to lose the QB they plan on taking.

Because Slay was expensive, wanted more and was getting pissed off at the organization.

If Kinlaw fell, would you be shocked to see the 49ers use the pick they got for Buckner on Kinlaw? I wouldn't - a 1 for 1 replacement (ideally) that costs a lot less.

I think Detroit would be silly to pass on Okudah. Then again, the NFC North isn't exactly a murderers row at QB or WR. Even Rodgers has become little more than a rich man's Alex Smith. Man he was weird to watch last year.
